I first heard it in grade school.
Tonight’s Prayer
Here I am feeling sorry for myself again
wondering if my trials will ever end
or if I will ever win.
I don’t know the next step or what to do
I’m so tired of always having to lose
so I’m on my knees again
getting ready to plead again
asking to be smarter than I am again.
Just find Shawn and Gus
I think I could start a blog just about dreams. Referring to literal dreams at night. I’ve had some odd ones. If you promise not to try and interpret and tell me the symbolism I’ll share another one.
A quick preface first. I used to watch the television show Psych when it was on Friday nights. When it switched to Wednesday nights though, I couldn’t make the switch with it. Here in my time zone it comes on 11:00 at night. On a Wednesday. I’m too old to stay up and watch it. I mean, I can’t get to work on time as it is.
The story behind the post: Task at hand
I sat in the waiting room of the University of Utah Hospital. A day earlier I received my first introduction to CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). That’s what mom had. She laid in a bed in ICU hooked up to beeping machines and tubes. This was the beginning process of what would become four years of what she called, “Poking and prodding.” On this day, only two of us could visit her at a time so I waited for another turn in the waiting room. I sat there and took a deep breath.
Task at Hand
I’m Right, You’re Wrong
I’m right as right can be,
yes siree!
In all of history
nobody
has been as right as me.
Be Nice to the Normals
I sat in the Relief Society room Sunday waiting for Sunday School to start. Most people usually make small talk during this time as everyone filters in. I typically choose to sit quietly. Since my own business is a bit boring I peek into others’ business. Nothing gross. I’m just saying I usually people watch.
The Perfect Language
A long time ago there was a man called Adam who had a wife named Eve. They lived in a pretty ideal place. So ideal it was called the Garden of Eden. Sounds quite nice, doesn’t it? During this time, they experienced a tremendous amount of learning and growth.
Opposition in All Things
I’d Rather Be…
I’d rather be
a millionaire
because as you know
millionaires
have no worries
or cares.
